Navy baseball coach Paul Kostacopoulos isn't asking his players to go the extra mile. Instead, it's an additional 90 feet that could serve the Mids well in 2015.
Kostacopoulos, entering his 10th season at Navy, watched his team struggle to score runs last season. The result was a 23-28 record, a 7-12 mark in one-run games, and a total of 55 doubles, which ranked near the bottom among NCAA Division I teams.
An improved lineup has Kostacopoulos optimistic about his team's ability to score runs. For...

When memories of the Maryland-Navy lacrosse rivalry stir, warm thoughts come to mind.
Not to get too sappy just a few days past Valentine's Day, but pleasant notions arise of comfortable spring days that include images of sunbathers at College Park's "Byrd Beach" or a postgame stroll along City Dock. What most definitely does not come to mind in a clash of the Terps and Mids is fans bundled up like they are about to take part in the Iditarod or take in a football game the "Frozen Tundra" of Lambeau...

Jim Margraff knew he wanted to become a coach as far back as the eighth grade. As a youngster, Margraff's favorite books were about great coaches like Vince Lombardi or John Wooden.
That ambition became stronger during Margraff's time as a standout two-sport athlete at Miller Place High on Long Island, where he was blessed to have two influential coaches in Roy Reese (football) and Don Pranzo (baseball).
"They were both great coaches, but even greater human beings. They left a lasting impact on me,"...

Obviously, the big story for Maryland men's lacrosse in 2015 is the program's move from the venerable Atlantic Coast Conference into the fledgling Big Ten Conference.
Gone are longtime league rivals Duke and Virginia, although head coach John Tillman was able to keep North Carolina on the schedule. New to the slate are schools Maryland hopes to build a tradition with such as Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State.
"It's representative of the changing nature of college athletics. Conference realignment...

Ed Wilson has been called the John Wooden of youth basketball, and for those that knew the man well that would not be an overstatement.
Wilson applied the same philosophies, beliefs and work ethic to coaching 8-10-year-olds that the legendary UCLA coach used to capture 10 NCAA championships at the Division I level. And during 47 years with the Severna Park Green Hornets organization, Wilson may have won more games and national titles than the Wizard of Westwood.
"Ed Wilson was one of a kind and a...
